“Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty – they merely move it from their faces
into their hearts.”

– Martin Buxbaum

Located just walking distance from Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, Vintage Burbank is close to Warner Bros and Universal Studios along with major shopping and city centers. “The most important message we strive to give to our seniors is that they are not giving up their independence,” says Lucy Woolsey, Senior Regional Sales & Training Manager. “We encourage them to live life to the fullest and emphasize an active resort lifestyle.” Confirming this is Kathy Fitzsimmons. Her father, Stan Kordell, was one of the first residents. “We couldn’t be more delighted,” says Kathy. “It’s like being in a 5 star hotel! They gave my dad a beautiful welcome basket. The staff is so caring and attentive! My father and I are thrilled!” Family members are encouraged to participate in the diverse activities and meals. Pets are also welcome. Another new resident, Marion Hendricks, jubilantly recants while sipping a glass of white zinfandel at the granite top bar, “It’s so beautiful here. Everyday I feel like I’m on vacation. On Mother’s Day they gave me an orchid corsage. I haven’t had one since high school. All the gals working here are so sweet.”

“It’s like being in a 5 star hotel! My father and I are thrilled!” Family members are encouraged to participate in the diverse activities and meals.
